They added Carlos Watkins, Brent Urban, and Tarell Basham on Thursday to give them much-needed depth on the defensive line.

Seems like it’s the same story just a different season when it comes to the safety position for the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys’ biggest priority in free agency was taken care of last week when they signed Dak Prescott to a four-year extension.

The Dallas Cowboys found a diamond in the rough at safety in Donovan Wilson who shined last season after an ankle injury derailed his rookie campaign in 2019. However, with Xavier Woods set to be an unrestricted free agent, and doubtful to return, the Cowboys once again need safety help. Players such as TCU’s Trevon Moehrig …
Defense Defense Defense. That’s what the Dallas Cowboys’ main focus should and probably will be in the 2021 NFL draft. They have holes to fill on all three levels, but the position that’s drawing the most attention in the first round is cornerback. The two names that have been linked the most to the Cowboys with …
Dak Prescott has been everything the Dallas Cowboys could ask for in a franchise quarterback since he took over for Tony Romo. Prescott has won two division titles, an Offensive Rookie of the Year award, and been one of the most productive players at the most important position in football. After the Cowboys missed the playoffs …
After an offseason that produced a successful NFL draft and what most believed was a productive free agency period, the Dallas Cowboys were expected to win the NFC East in 2020. Injuries derailed their season from the beginning, but one of the most alarming aspects of the Cowboys from a season ago was the struggles of …
CeeDee Lamb was the Dallas Cowboys prize selection of the 2020 NFL draft. After falling to the Cowboys at 17 in the first round, expectations for him begin to reach new heights after he was named the best receiver in training camp. Lamb would parlay that into an excellent rookie campaign that saw him set a …
The Dallas Cowboys were set up to make the playoffs in 2020 after a successful NFL draft and what many believed to be a productive free agency period.

The Dallas Cowboys thought they found their starting 3-tech defensive tackle when they signed Gerald McCoy to a three-year, $18.3 million dollar deal last March.

The most important topic when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys is the lucrative contract extension that Dak Prescott is seeking.

The 2021 NFL draft is right around the corner and the Dallas Cowboys have plenty of holes to fill. One of the most important areas is the Cowboys secondary which they have been trying to get right for quite some time now. In 2020, the Cowboys found two young studs to build with on the third …
It wasn’t too long ago that many thought the Dallas Cowboys had the best trio of linebackers in the NFL with Jaylon Smith, Leighton Vander Esch, and Sean Lee. However, what was once a strength turned into a weakness in 2020. Smith took a step back even from his 2019 regression and Vander Esch missed six …
A lot went wrong for the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. They signed several veteran free agents before the season started, but nearly all were off of the roster but October.

Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup each went over 1,100 yards in 2019, making them one of the NFL’s best receiving duos.
